If Politicians Are God


Then the , × in our votes is as good as the period at the end of this sentence Viewer's poll for a fate that was already decided Laws we must abide by like the Ten Commandments , remain legal before the 5-O's judgements Serve jail-time for marketin' the meth they commissioned, the constitution's maths doesn't add up as we had envisioned But the , " Lord shall set a sinner free " from hell , A hundred thousand dollar bill for a killer's , bail DEUTR: "Fear the Lord our God.. ", so they put the scare in sche(scare)matics: 200 CHRISTIAN school-girls kidnapped, MH317 detoured , Of the map Isis on the front page , Putin's rampage Word-play to second guess your conviction, [Are all terrorists Muslims or All Muslims terrorists?] -- the power of propaganda's diction Ebola's blemishes , 23 200 African souls lost An aftermath of it's grandiose toast Compared to only 4 cases in the United States, Only 2 live to tell a story A conspiracy's glory? If politicians are god then the White house equates to heaven ; Vatican city the Pope's brethren The prayers of a nation , answered with solemn condemnation But… But they are doin' their best ; Short-lived promises to , to keep a people's compliances Headlines to, to keep us amused , A voice like Snowden is, is not approved World hunger hasn't ended, on par with these wars which are funded .. I speak ill of a system WE put in place. But politics will never be the answer. God is. With a capital.
